The Federal Government has approved a redrafted master plan for Parafield Airport, paving the way for a significant increase in air traffic at the site.

The Government rejected a previous plan for the flight school in Adelaide's north two years ago because it did not provide accurate information about the hours of flight training, flight paths and noise disruption.

Federal Transport Minister Anthony Albanese says a revised plan has now been approved with several conditions, including no flights before 8am on weekends and public holidays.

He says a special taskforce will be created to reduce the noise impact of flights on the surrounding suburbs.

Nearby residents told airport management at a public meeting in April the current number of flights already creates too much noise and they opposed any increase.

Parafield provides pilot training programs and is the fifth-busiest airport in Australia for aircraft movements, based on 2010 monitoring.

Mr Albanese says the airport will create an additional 1000 jobs and contribute $296 million to the economy by 2032.

He says the airport has 10 weeks to make its master plan public.
